SCAPULA.<br />

The one almost perfectly preserved specimen of the scapula belongs also,<br />

as is shown by the comparative dimensions, to a horse of medium size. The slenderness<br />

of the bones, a characteristic especially typical of the Anau horse, is here<br />

very perceptible. No further peculiarities are noticeable in the structure of the<br />

bones.<br />

HUMERUS.<br />

None of the bones permit a full measurement of the length of the humerus.<br />

Generally speaking, they were only distal pieces, the measurements of seven<br />

of which we have given in the table on p. 392. The few measurements of width<br />

here given approach nearest to those of Equus przewalskii and Equus hemionus.
